The conveners did not select presos, the blind review committees did... and they did a GREAT job, as demonstrated by the high quality of our presenter's sessions! :-) How amazing to have such realtime dialog with you, Liz, after just hearing your presentation today. I could NOT have done this without Gabcast. I love it! :-) Kudos to the blind review committee for the “New Tools” strand of K12Online07 for selecting Liz’ preso!

You ROCK Liz. I think we all will be trying these tools out. Most impressive! Kudos to the organizers for selecting this one!

Wes, you really made my day! Thank you for taking the time to give such thoughtful feedback on my presentation. It is helpful to hear how the presentation may translate into useful applications for the audience (especially in this particular conference where we have such diverse participants). Additionally the feedback means a lot to me coming from you, since I really admire your work in the web2.0 field. I often reference your wiki (this has been a FANTASTIC resource for me) and blog in my own teaching. Thank you also for the recommendation to AT&T! And referencing Dan, I will be looking him up. I love the "distributed recording" concept! If you don't mind I am going to borrow it when I am doing cell phone podcasting with my students! I will also try to add more examples of what teachers are doing with podcasts on my blog as they happen. I've always found the "real world" examples in presentations very helpful as well. I would love to hear how your cell phone tool "testing" goes over the next few weeks. I definitely have my favorites and would love to hear/read about your reactions to these resources. I have to say I also agree with you on the concept of "citizen journalism." I never consider this aspect of cell phone podcasting, but I definitely see your vision of how it could be implemented. I am working on a book with ISTE (it should be coming out soon, the manuscript is done) called Toy to Tool: Cell Phones in Learning. The book has many of the ideas and resources discussed in the presentation as well as more goodies such as addressing concerns on using cell phones in learning, classroom management ideas, and PreK-5th grade learning ideas. Again, Wes I cannot thank you enough for such a glowing recommendation of my presentation. Hi Wes
